reached the highest point I when taiL Thomas In a seconding speech for Howells characterized some of the opponents of the Sheriff as striker strik-er and was temporarily overwhelmed I by a chorus of

as to the a hot all released and confusion as to everything There were several spectacles spec-tacles calculated to make thinking people peo-ple wonder if I the Democratic ticket were the one to support this year The most striking of these Incidents perhaps per-haps was the spectacle of State Senator Sen-ator D O Rideout Jr of Draper placing Bryan above Washington and Lincoln In American history A prominent promi-nent Democrat one who has been highly I high-ly honored by the party In this State when told ot this comparison did not ut empt to conceal Ills disgust sayingS saying-S that the Idea of claiming superiority for un active political candidate of today to-day over two of the foremost figures Ins In-s the Nations history was not alone a reflection upon the man making the i comparison but upon the party which he leJrCen led iY The convention was rackety enough for any one and In marked contrast with the Republican convention of the day before Criminations and iccrlni inatlons characteristic of gatherings of Utah Democrats were not lacking and tho same old knocking system was t much In evidence CZAR ORLANDO Rows broke loose spveral times and Chairman Powers had a right busy time While on the subject of Powers n little description of him as a presiding presid-ing olllcer would be appropriate Firstly First-ly = dear brethren he knows from the time the handkerchief drops that he i Is the whole thing and he docs not allow the convention to forget It either As a Czar he shlneth with a great and dazzling brightness Tom Reed In his ci palmiest days could not get a look In with Your Uncle Orlando Orlando could stand on the bottom step and lap soup off Toms head Imperialism was never better cxemplUled than by Orlle yesterday He made several delegates moie than mortified Once when he referred to u member from the county aa the delegate with a white shirt on the entire convention took It as a personal Insult and tho Czar almost had a rebellion to subdue that time The Idea I that any Democratic delegate would wear a whllu shirt caused a thrill of shame to pass through the naB MADE HIMSELF FELT If Orlando thought a delegate who had been ruled out or order did not sit down quickly enough Orlando told that i delegate to be scaled andOrlando I did 1 nol strain his intellect to think of polite po-lite phrases with which to clothe the request either Morris Sommer proprietor pro-prietor and boomer ot Tufty tried tog to-g got rosebushy with the chairman once or twice and MorrIs Wit HO severely I sat down upon that It straightened his curly hair and dimmed his plncu noz The galleries came in for a hare of j the Imperialists attention and he offered of-fered to clean the whole bunch of them out several times Oh he was a sizzling BUCCCSS UH a chairman yes But he was the man for the situation It required 4 re-quired Home person who would tell that convention what to do In order to get through any business and the Hon O R Lando

hour later when County Chairman II T Lloyd called the convention to order In opening the meeting Mr Lloyd took occasion to throw a few bouquets as follows BOASTS BY LLOYD A few years ago Salt Lake was overwhelmingly over-whelmingly Republican probably to tho amount of 2500 votes in some Instances In-stances Since that time the Republicans Republi-cans In Salt Lake county have been swept from power Their record was and probably always will be one of exTemporary I 1I44 iI1I t r 1 t 4ff7v7i I I T l I j Temporary Chairman Rideout Tells I Funny Stories from Ancient History I His-tory travagance Compare their record of two years with the Democratic administration admin-istration for the last four years and you will find something there that will give you aid and comfort I shall not enter into a discussion of the issues of this campaign My opinion opin-ion is that the Democracy can win in I this campaign as it has won in the three previous campaigns The first thing for you to do a delegates dele-gates representing the great party of I Democracy ia to place before the people peo-ple a ticket composed of Individuals I who cannot be attacked a ticket superior su-perior to that which the other gentlemen gentle-men have nominated That will add thirteen members to the Legislature which In turn we hope will elect u United States Senator TEMPORARY HONORS At the conclusion of his remarks Mr Lloyd named temporary officers as follows fol-lows D ORld oUt Jr of Draper chairman Mrs Egbert Roberta and Miss Emma Lynch gf Salt Lake vice chairmen Mrs E H Bennlon of Tay lorsvllle secretary Adam

REMEMBERS LAST LEGISLATURE I desire first to thank you for the high honor conferred In choosing met me-t preside over this magnificent convention con-vention I wish to Impress upon every delegate present the responsibility rest ing upon her or upon him to name good men for our county und our legislative tickets J we jilace upon the ticket men in whom the people have not con fidence we cannot go before the people of this county and ask for their support sup-port But If on the other hand we place upon the ticket men In whom the people of this county have absolute confidence in their ability honesty and integrity we will go before this county and ask for support and we will get It and elected the Democratic ticket will be 1 wish to call your attention to the fact that many of the Silver Republicans Republi-cans who were with us In 1S3C and 1898 arc not with xis today They have gone back to their oh party and they tell us that silver Is I not an issue In the present campaign In contradistinction to this over In the Eastern States we have the chairman of the national Republican Re-publican part declaring that silver is the chief Issue and this Is Indorsed not only by Gov Roosevelt but by Presi dent McKlnley himself AS TO PROSPERITY Our Republican friends point us to the magnificent prosperity that Is spreading over tho land at the present lime and they tell us that thin 1f because be-cause of Republican administration and then they point us bark to the I j great crash of 1S03 and way that was the I result of Democratic administration I I do not desire to dwell long upon this 1 but 1 wish to read a paragraph from I i The Salt Lake Tribune of September 2 1S9S I wish to state that the Demo I era tic party = never brought on the craslii i or the financial panic of 1893 I was on long before the Democratic party came I i Into power long before President Cleve 1 land took hla seat It was so dark lanr toole hll I calk on i the stage that Senator Hideout could t I not ace to read the Item but he continued con-tinued as follows The Tribune says i that the first great crash came through t j Argentine when Argentine securities i I failed that that finally burst ovcr bnnk In England and that the then Chancellor of the Exchequer said In L speech that If it had not been for the temporary loan from France and Russia Rus-sia the Bank of England would have been suspended I goes on to say that i the crash In 1S93 was absolutely without a cause except that the bankers brought It On to kill silver and to force another mighty issue of bonds and this fi from the Republican party that today points to tho prosperity of the present und J charges the Democratic parly for the adversity of the past I TALKS FOR AGUINALDO i i l K I But there Is another question that Is I prominent before the people of > thj United States at the present Ume und i prcsentlme I that is the attitude of this AdminJstra ton and of the Republican party toward to-ward the people of the Philippines This Is l a question that must nntl will be decided und although the silver question I ques-tion is nn issue and will remain an Issue Is-sue this rises above and beyond the question of humanity the question of I the right of the United States to cross the ocean and go Into the land and I homes of others und lake It away from them mc After further discussion of tho Philip pine question Senator Rideout said WHAT MUSE WILL DO FOR BRYAN Now my fiends fix conclusion let me say that the great standardbearer of the Democratic party Is as true and honest to the trust placed in him as he j was four years ago Applause Tho men who supported bin1 then can support sup-port him now But our friends have found something In his character that does not suit them He Is the same as he was then and I believe that when the muse of history In tho years to come shall make up a list of the great statesmen states-men of the United States that she vlll choose Washington as the flower of our earlier civilization Lincoln as the man who loved liberty for himself and for the white man and loved it equally for the black man and then dipping her pen in the sunlight she will trace in the clear bluo above them all the name of tho defender of the flag tho lovor of the people William J Bryan ACCORDING TO CUSTOM At the conclusion of the chairmans I address Alfalcs Young moved the appointment

purpose of making a statement relative to the Populist fusion When Mr Lloyd announced what the Populists Popu-lists claimed a mighty roar went up and someone proposed giving the Populists Popu-lists the ticket Mr Lloyd joke as I follows II SAYS POPS ARE GREEDY I wl hto saythat the county committee com-mittee has been approached by a committee com-mittee from the Populists relative to fusion In Salt Lake county I Is true that our committee had no authority to act except that which It assumed In the Interest of the party We meta met-a like committee ot the Populists on several occasions and I dealre at this time to make a statement to this convention con-vention atf to what was done venton The Populists claim to have In the neighborhood of 500 votes In Salt Lake county In consideration of fusing with the Democrats they request one State Senator two Representatives a County Recorder onethird of the patronage pat-ronage In that office und a deputy In the Sheriffs ofilce Our committee in turn suggested and promised In turn If they would accept It to recommend to this convention that they get cne State Senator one Representative chief deputy In the Recorders offIce i and one deputy in the Sheriffs oificc They however rejected that f have now given it to you and It simply rests with the convention aa to whether it would prefer to turn the matter flown entirely or whether It will ay point a conference committee lo confer with the Populists They met last i evening and placed tlckel tln the field Of com so the understanding was that they must place on the ticket the names of buch Populists as would be acceptable to us The matter rests entirely en-tirely I with this convention JC Lambert moved that the proposition propo-sition madehy the county committee to the Populists bo

that It would be better to fuse Ray Van Cott raised the point of order or-der that as the conventipn had not been organized the matter could not properly be considered and was sustained sus-tained QUESTION OF TIME A recess until 2 oclock was then proposed pro-posed l and developed that the convention conven-tion was not in favor of a two days session Fisher Harris moved to amend lKl4 majklnp

that no resolutions had yet been prepared pre-pared that the committee could not be ready to report at 2 oclock and there would ensue an Interminable wait Anyway Fisher concluded weve got two days to do this In and there was no need of rushing Judge Norrell Thomas Green and M E Mulvey Indorsed Fishers attitude H J Johnson of Sandy however had different Ideas and ho expresed them eloquently and forcefully Most of the delegates he said were men like himself him-self who worked every day and they could Ill afford to give two days In succession suc-cession to the cause of Democracy loyal as they were Ho could not scc1 why the committee on resolutions should require much time to formulate I 1 platform with the platform of the Kansas City convention before It Furthermore Fur-thermore he argued he did not see that the convention should be made to prolong Us session to further the Interests of some candidates and he I closed by hoping that all the country I dqlpgales l at least would
